There can be itching and bleeding when you pass stools. There can be pain and uneasiness in the area too.

One of the ways of relieving this is to take a ‘sitz’ bath. Its name reflects the act. You fill the tub with warm water up to few inches and sit in it. Add in a handful of Epsom salts which can be easily found at the drug store. Or even a cup of cider vinegar can be added to it.

You need to sit in it for about 15 minutes. The best method is to sit back with your knees raised. It is not a dignified position, but for cure of piles, it gives maximum exposure to the affected area. You will soon find the pain decreased and the irritation is calmed.

Other hemorrhoid home treatment methods include application of various natural substances like apple cider vinegar, aloe vera and witch hazel. These are most popular and most effective treatments. These tend to soothe and heal any pain, itching and swelling associated with hemorrhoids.

Another unusual hemorrhoid home treatment method includes the use of teabags. They are generally considered good for healing puffy eyes. But the tannin contained in the tea also helps to heal piles.

Generally warm tea bags are used. The warmth is relaxing and the natural astringency of the tannin helps to shrink the piles.

It is more natural to squat. Squatting actually straightens your rectum and makes passing stools much easier. If you are not used to it, then it will take some time to learn it. Yes by changing the way of using the toilet you can seek to cure piles.
